Comment 5 for bug 692719

This is the first time I've submitted a patch, so I'm not sure if the file names at the top of the patch are what you need. I hope to do more minor patches in Inkscape, so please let me know how you'd like me to format the patch files (what filenames to use for the new/old files).

Also, this is a patch vs. the current 0.49.x branch of Inkscape, which had a couple of very small changes from the release branch. I don't know if the 0.48.x version has the same changes or not (just formatting things in gears.inx, and a change to the vim modeline in gears.py).
